I have 2 questions:
Do I understand the colors correctly in that /home is deprecated and shouldn’t be used? What’s the alternative in that case?
Where would you guys put configuration files for services? /srv seems like an adequate directory

Mostly ease of management. I have a server on which I run multiple applications. If I don’t need something anymore, I can just purge the container. The directories used by that container are clearly listed in my docker-compose file so I never have to wonder whether I purged everything that is now unnecessary.
It also makes it very easy to deploy a new service.
As fas as I know, Y.A. isn’t about dystopias but rather a book marketed at young adults in general and oftens contains some kind of coming of age storyline
I’m not the guy you replied to.
I originally stored my music in Plex and used Plexamp. I have a large playlist downloaded from youtube which caused horrible performance issues in Plexamp. Navidrome is pretty much a read-only service. It can only read metadata from the files, not add any or manage them. For me this feels safer to expose to the internet since my docker container only has read-only access to all of my files. Even if someone broke into the service for some reason, they couldn’t do anything to my files.
I don’t know if jellyfin has similar performance issues with large playlists since I already had navidrome set up by then.
I found it a pain in the ass to remove amazon drm ebooks. What worked for one book suddenly didn’t for the next.
Whenever possible I try to avoid them for that reason
Honestly, in my opinion it kind of is (though I’m not an expert on it). Except for convenience I don’t think a browser should be allowed to access my USB devices. Though I would welcome it if it was enabled with the same kind of request that pops up when a browser wants to access the microphone or camera.
Oh I have it disabled. Pretty much among the first things I do with any new windows install is disable and uninstall as much bullshits as microsoft preloads. It gets pretty annoying though how much there is you have to opt out of. I also like complaining about them so you’re not too wrong there.
At least they are still better than samsung in that regard who preload facebook on their phones as a system app thereby preventing the user from uninstalling it.
The difference is that these programs are not preinstalled. They are shortcuts to install said program.
Is anyone else having problems with imgur on mobile? The page won’t load for me unless I enable desktop mode
I just tried converting that to euro to have a better frame of reference for your 200k. Are those really equivalent to about 8 Euro or did I make a mistake with the conversion?
Honestly, what else would it be? Text takes ridiculously little storage compared to a single picture of a decent resolution.
Depends I guess. For me the biggest concern when I bought my Synology was simplicity of usage and idle power consumption which is much lower than I could get with one of the older computers I have lying around.
I am currently using 2 16TB drives in Raid 1 and was planning to move to Raid 5 (or maybe it was 6) if I need more storage by adding a 3rd drive.
What would you recommend instead?
I just wished they were more relevant in german politics.
It’s the typical dilemma. Vote for a party you know won’t get enough votes to do something or vote for the least bad of the established parties.
Well, theoretically yes but it doesn’t continuously send data and both WiFi and Zigbee also allow for operation on various channels. Does your neighbors WiFi interfere with yours?
Also, most WiFi devices now support 5GHz WiFi anyway so it’s even less of an issue anymore. The bigger problem would probably be WiFi interfering with ZigBee. But again, that can be resolved by changing the channels.
Isn’t Zigbee always on 2.4GHz regardless of country? Trying to shift the frequency to 915MHz for all devices sounds like a lot of work with questionable benefit
That’s a good point. Another one I have is sort of failure tolerance. I used to have a really unreliable router which would often crash and could only be reset using a full power reset. While it was in this state, wifi obviously stopped working but my zigbee devices where still available. I used to have a zigbee button linked to a smart plug for toggling my router off and on again.
This shouldn’t be a concern for most people obviously but I wanted to share my experience.
Another point I want to mention is that zigbee works at 2.4Ghz just like basic wifi so they can still interfere with each other.
Zwave on the other hand uses another frequency (I think it was around 860MHz) but is more expensive.
If you are into selfhosting you could checkout audiobookshelf which allows you to stream podcasts and audiobooks from your own server and manage their metadata
Unfortunately not all features are always available on those ROMs.
One example is GrapheneOS and Google Wallet which I cannot use due to GrapheneOS not being considered “certified software” by the app and therefore not being trusted.
